Hi there,
Which photo is appearing when you post to Facebook? With the rollout of their new Graph services, people have been finding that Facebook has been grabbing images specifically from posts more than anything else. Is that what you’re finding here?
Let me know!

It is using the one from my image widget on the side bar, rather than one from the post
Thanks -
Heya!
I did a bit of research, and it looks like Facebook’s problem with the images that are included with your posts is that they’re not big enough. For example, your most recent post:
http://rottenbooks.me/2013/10/11/the-new-spaniards-john-hooper/
The only image there is:
Which is 181px x 278px. Facebook requires that images be at least 200px by 200px, so they found the next image that was big enough on your site, what was the one in your sidebar. :(
If you want to try uploading a bigger version of the image, I’ve done a quick trick which clears Facebook’s cache for that link. The next time that URL is shared it should re-pull the images again.
